Microbreaks restore attention and reduce musculoskeletal strain during long work sessions. Brief, frequent pauses outperform infrequent long breaks for sustaining performance.
Break Design
Short walks, posture resets, and eye rest counter static loads. Timers prompt consistent practice.
Integration with Workflow
Schedule breaks at natural transitions. Lightweight prompts reduce interruption anxiety.
Sustaining the Habit
Environmental cues and social norms reinforce microbreaks across teams.
